June 16th, 2025: Why Israel Chose This Moment To Strike Iran & Political Violence In Minnesota
In this episode of The President's Daily Brief:
We begin with the escalating conflict between Israel and Iran. After a weekend of heavy missile and drone strikes, Israel now says its campaign could last for weeks. So why did it choose this moment to act?
Later in the show—a manhunt is underway in Minnesota after a deadly, politically motivated shooting leaves one Democratic lawmaker dead and another critically wounded.
Plus—Egyptian authorities crack down on pro-Palestinian activists attempting to storm the Gaza border. Some were beaten, others detained and deported.
And in today’s Back of the Brief—a leaked memo reveals the U.S. may dramatically expand the Trump travel ban to 36 more countries.
